About This Episode

In this episode of DevNTell, Narb welcomes Drew, a master educator and the creator of 0xCorigis. Drew shares his journey from traditional educational tech to the Web3 space, explaining how his experience as a traveling teacher inspired him to create accessible and non-intimidating learning materials. He introduces 0xCorigis as the 'Duolingo of Web3,' a project designed to make coding and blockchain concepts cute and informative for all ages. Drew demonstrates the mobile app, discusses the evolution of his branding—from the 'CodeWithCorgis' blog to a giant 3D-printed mascot suit—and details his vision for onboarding non-technical users through interactive storytelling and gamified quizzes.

Key Takeaways

1

0xCorigis aims to remove the intimidation factor from learning code and Web3 by using cute, character-driven storytelling.

2

0xCorigis was inspired by a student who felt 'dumb' because her only resource was a 'Coding for Dummies' book, motivating Drew to create more positive educational tools.

3

The branding features a clever logo where developers see curly brackets while non-tech users see a corgi face, bridging the gap between both worlds.

4

The 0xCorigis app is built with Flutter and functions similarly to Duolingo, providing interactive quizzes, glossaries, and NFT-integrated guides for onboarding.

5

Drew is a self-taught animator who emphasizes the importance of iterative experimentation and pivoting from Web2 strategies to find a more engaged audience in Web3.
